This year’s program committee has organized an extensive array of thirty-three Colloquia, three submitted Symposia, twenty-six invited Symposia, and twelve Author-Meets-Critics sessions. Our program also includes thirteen sessions organized by Committees of the APA and over fifty-five affiliated group sessions. In addition, the Central Division is host to the 2011 Romanell Lecture (given by Jaegwon Kim), and our John Dewey Lecturer is Bernard Boxill. This issue of the Proceedings contains a complete convention program, including scheduled group meetings. At the back of this issue, you will find a meeting registration form, a form for reserving tables at the receptions, and maps of the hotel’s location and meeting rooms. Also included are information forms concerning the 2012 meeting and the 2011-2012 Nominating Committee, for your use if you have suggestions for future meetings or wish to offer your services to the Division. 1. HOTEL INFORMATION The Hilton Minneapolis Hotel is at 1001 Marquette Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55403. For more information on the hotel, see its web site at http://www.minneapolis.hilton.com/. Hotel reservations should be made directly with the hotel either through the Internet or by telephone (the Hilton Minneapolis, like most hotels today, prefers not to receive reservation requests by mail or fax). To reserve through the Internet, go to the Minneapolis Hilton’s web site (http://www. minneapolis.hilton.com/) and enter your dates in the “Check availability” block. Then, enter either “PHI” (for regular rates) or “PHS” (for the student rates) in the Group/Convention Code field. Please note that the hotel will ask the APA National Office to confirm that those requesting the student rate are APA Student Associate members. To reserve by telephone, call the Minneapolis Hilton reservations department at +1-888-933-5363, explain that you are attending the American Philosophical Association 2011 Central Division meeting, and give the appropriate group code as above. To be assured of a room at the special convention rate, you should act promptly. Our convention block of rooms will be maintained by the hotel only until March 1, 2011. After that time, any unused rooms in the block 2 Proceedings and Addresses of the APA 84:3 will be released to other guests, and convention registrants may be unable to obtain the special rates or appropriate rooms. Arriving by air: Most major airlines fly to Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport (MSP). For information concerning the airport, see http://www. mspairport.com/. The airport is 16 miles from downtown Minneapolis. The most economical form of ground transportation to the hotel is Minneapolis Light Rail (fare $1.75).

There are Light Rail stops in Terminal 1-Lindbergh and Terminal 2-Humphrey. In Terminal 1, go to the Tram Level (one level below baggage claim) and take the Tram to the Transit Center. When you exit the Tram, follow the signs for the Light Rail Station. In Terminal 2, take the Skyway from Level 2 to the parking facility and then go down one level by escalator or elevator to the Light Rail station platform, on the north side of the MSP Value Parking ramp. To reach the hotel, take the train to Nicollet Mall Station. The hotel is approximately six blocks southwest on Marquette (Marquette is one block southeast of Nicollet Mall). Taxi fare is $25-$35.
